Electro-Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer

Varex Imaging Corporation•Salt Lake City, UT

About The Position

We are looking for a strong electro-mechanical manufacturing engineer to support our dual-ended x-ray products. The ideal candidate has a strong hands-on skill set with a broad range of manufacturing processes, equipment, assembly methods, tooling, lean production, inventory management, and documentation practices with an overarching drive to help production teams make their job better and more efficient. You will expand your hands-on experience with multiple manufacturing and assembly methods. You will have exposure to advanced medical x-ray imaging components, their processing and test equipment, and the manufacturing and design challenges associated with managing thermal loads in high voltage electro-mechanical systems within the Medical Device Industry. This role is an on the production floor manufacturing engineer working directly with the production line team, product (continuing engineering), R&D engineering, maintenance, and quality in building medical x-ray imaging components. If you can handle success and failure with an indomitable spirit, and work through the rigors of existing process improvements - we would love to talk to you!
